Filter by:We are currently conducting a randomized controlled study in China, specifically in three hospitals' rehabilitation medicine departments, focusing on dysphagic participants with Parkinson's disease. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy as an additional intervention for these participants. Participants were randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group, with 56 individuals in each group. Both groups are receiving standard treatment and swallowing rehabilitation training, while the experimental group is also receiving acupuncture therapy. Our study aims to provide valuable insights into the potential benefits of acupuncture in improving swallowing difficulties in Parkinson's disease participants.
This is a prospective multicenter study with patients with delayed dysphagia after radiotherapy. Patients enrolled are randomly divided equally into the observation group and the control group. All patients receive conventional care, and the observation group received Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding while the control group received Nasogastric Tube Feeding for enteral nutrition support. Baseline information (demographics, medical history, etc.), nutritional status at admission and after treatment, depression, dysphagia, and quality of life after treatment as well as adverse events are compared.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of Active Breathing Exercises on swallowing function and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly individuals (≥60 year old) with swallowing disorders. It primarily aims to address two key aspects: 1) the prevalence of dysphagia among community-dwelling elderly individuals, and 2) the effects of Active Breathing Exercises on swallowing function and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly individuals with swallowing disorders. All participants enrolled are required to undergo a continuous three-week (21 days) Active Breathing Exercises, with weekends off and training conducted only on weekdays. The training will be conducted two sessions per day, lasting 15-30 minutes each.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore Clinical Effect of Glossopharyngeal Nerve Block on Pharyngeal Dysphagia Induced by Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can Glossopharyngeal Nerve Block improve dysphagia caused by gastroesophageal reflux symptoms on the basis of rehabilitation training? Participants will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group will be given Glossopharyngeal Nerve Block once a day additionally. The study lasts 20 days for each participant. Researchers will compare the Rosenbek penetration-aspiration scale, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire, Pressure pain threshold, to see if the Glossopharyngeal Nerve Block can help improve the symptom.
This is a multicenter randomized controlled study. The study recruited stroke patients with mild cognitive impairment and dysphagia who were undergoing inpatient rehabilitation treatment in three hospitals in mainland China as the participants (study subjects). The study duration for each participant was 15 days. The subjects were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. During the treatment, all patients received routine rehabilitation treatment. In addition, patients in the control group received conventional cognitive training, while patients in the experimental group received computer-assisted cognitive training.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of systematic simple swallowing training on swallowing function and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly individuals (≥60 year old) with swallowing disorders. It primarily aims to address two key aspects: 1) the prevalence of dysphagia among community-dwelling elderly individuals, and 2) the effects of systematic simple swallowing training on swallowing function and quality of life in community-dwelling elderly individuals with swallowing disorders. All participants are required to undergo a continuous three-week (21 days) systematic simple swallowing training, with weekends off and training conducted only on weekdays. The training will be conducted two sessions per day, lasting 15-30 minutes each.
The proposed study seeks to determine the incidence of dysphagia and vocal fold mobility impairment (VFMI) in individuals undergoing cardiovascular surgical procedures. It also seeks to determine the impact of postoperative swallowing impairment on health-related outcomes.
Aiming to determine the incidence and contributing risk factors of vocal fold mobility impairment (VFMI) and dysphagia in postoperative cardiovascular patients and evaluate the impact of VFMI on health-related outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of nipple flow rate on swallowing function in infants less than 3 months corrected age (up to 11 weeks and 6 days) who have been referred for videofluoroscopic swallow study.
This study will test laryngeal adaptation in speech and swallowing function in healthy adults, in patients with cerebral stroke, and in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 6. The findings from this proposal will be the first step toward implementing rehabilitation techniques that help patients to prevent speech and swallowing errors before they occur.
